Inspired by Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Mid-century Modern, and the balance and movement of the natural world, I use a beautiful variety of gemstones and various karats and colors of gold to create small-scale sculptures that combine flowing yet graphic designs with unique and beautiful gemstone combinations.
With an intuitive design process, my designs are an evolution from an initial sketch or idea to the final design. Using traditional lost wax casting and fabrication methods I create pieces that allow the wearer to make a statement about personal their style.
After receiving my MFA in art, I worked in the retail jewelry world as a goldsmith. After 20 years of honing my craft, I decided to honor my initial vision and began creating pieces that showcased my unique design perspective and love of gemstones.
